Real Madrid project to revolve around key duo next season – report
It is no secret that Real Madrid are gearing up for a summer of change once the transfer market reopens.
The Spanish giants have gone two seasons without a major trophy and are in desperate need of a makeover.
As a result, several players and even some members of the coaching staff are facing an uncertain future at Santiago Bernabeu.
However, amid speculation of potential departures, two players are going to be a constant in the Real Madrid team setup next season.
According to Diario AS (h/t RM4Arab), the Real Madrid project will continue to revolve around Vinicius Jr. and Kylian Mbappe next season. Both these players are considered untouchable.
This naturally means Real Madrid are not considering any sale of either of these two players and instead are looking to get players that can work around them next season.
